Item Explanation
1 USB port in the glove box

USB sticks with the standard USB 1.1 are supported. However, the standard USB 2.0 (= high speed) is recommended. If the USB stick has been partitioned, the files must be located on the first partition. This is the only way these files are recognized and used. The USB interface supplies the USB stick with a maximum of 500 mA.

USB hard disks, USB hubs and USB memory card readers with a number of bays cannot be read at the USB interface.
